INSIGHT

Disarming Then Killing: A Dangerous Precedent

  • Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian argue video shows Alex Preddy was disarmed before Border Patrol shot him, exposing official lies.
  • They warn this incident signals a growing police-state practice of labeling citizens terrorists to justify lethal force.
ADVICE

Demand Consistent Rights Enforcement

  • Do not accept selective Second Amendment defenses that justify execution based on politics or identity.
  • Demand consistent application of rights: legal concealed carry must not become a pretext for lethal force.
